 Installing Boards

 Preparations
 (1) Wear antistatic wrist strap.
 (2) Clean up the shelves to ensure good sanitary conditions.
 (3) Check the backplane for bent, missing or broken pins.
 (4) Check the jacks on the backplane and the boards for
deformation.
 (5) Prepare a 6 mm flathead screwdriver or Philips screwdriver to
tighten the captive screw on the extractor.

 Inserting Board

 1. To insert a board, unlock the extractor ejector lever,

and then release it by pushing it outwards. Push the
board slowly into the intended slot in the standard 8U
subrack along the upper and lower guide rails.
 2. After the board connector contacts with the backplane
connector, turn the extractor ejector lever inwards.
Move the board forwards in place. When the ejector
lever makes a "click" sound, it means the extractor is in
the right position and is engaged with the ejector
lever hook.
 3. Use a flathead screwdriver or Philips screwdriver to
tighten the captive screw on the extractor. The
installation is completed.

 Extracting Board
1. Use a flathead screwdriver or Philips screwdriver to
loosen the captive screw on the extractor. Press
the unlock button to release the extractor.
2. After the board panel indicator ENUM flashes at a
frequency of 1 Hz, turn the extractor ejector lever
outwards to fully release the extractor from the
subrack beam slot, and then extract the board
slowly.
3. Pull out the board slowly along the upper and
lower guide rails of the standard 8U subrack until
it
is completely extracted.

 Clock Signal Cables

 Clock signal cables are used in APBE, CLKG, and GUIM.

 APBE board: When the APBE is used at the Iu interface and is set
to get the 8K reference clock from CN, the corresponding rear
board should be RGIM1.

Jack Description

A clock cable interface that outputs clock signals to

the 8 KIN1 jack on the CLKG rear board. If there is a
8KOUT/DEBUG- backup optical fiber that connects with the CN, it is
232 required to connect another clock cable from the
backup APBE rear board to the 8 KIN2 jack on the
CLKG rear board.

© ZTE Corporation. All rights reserved

 Clock Signal Cables

 CLKG board: The resource shelves and interface shelves of the

RNC system all require system clock, which is distributed by
connecting RCKG1 and RCKG2 (rear boards of the CLKG) to the
GUIM boards of all resource shelves through cables. The clock is
then distributed by the GUIM boards to the slots of each shelf.
Jack Description

The first external standard 8K input interface that connects to the 8KOUT/DEBUG-232 on
8 KIN1
the APBE rear board

The second external standard 8K input interface that connects to the 8KOUT/DEBUG-232
8 KIN2
on the backup APBE rear board

Clock output socket, each of which preferably outputs three sets of (16m, pp2s, 8k) clocks.
CLKOUT Under the full capacity of the socket (that is, each socket connects with six UIM boards), six
sets of clocks are required and are connected to the CLKIN jack on the UIM rear board.

 User Plane Interconnection Optical Fibers

 These optical fibers are used to connect the resource shelf and
the switching shelf in the system. The user plane is connected
through optical fiber. The RNC user plane is interconnected
through the GLI board and PSN board of the switching shelf. The
GUIM front board of the resource shelf is connected with the GLI
front board through optical fiber.
 The connection rules are as follows:
 Connect the two optical interfaces of one GUIM board to the
optical interfaces (with the same interface No.) of two different
adjacent active/standby GLI boards. Start the use of GLI
interfaces from the first one in slot 1. Start the connection of
GUIMs from slot 9 in shelf 1 of rack 1.

 Laying External Optical Fibers
 Optical fibers connect MGW and SGSN of the CN, with routes as
follows:
1. CS-domain and PS-domain interfaces use the ATM bearer mode:

APBE (RNC) → ODF → APBE (MGW) optical fiber

APBE (RNC) → ODF → SIUP (SGSN) optical fiber
2. CS-domain interfaces use the ATM bearer mode; PS-domain interfaces use the
IP bearer mode:

APBE (RNC) → ODF → APBE (MGW) optical fiber

GIPI (RNC) → ODF → SIUP (SGSN) optical fiber

Note: For commercial offices, optical fibers must be routed on the ODF. Test
environments and demo offices are not required to meet this requirement.

 Laying External Optical Fibers

 Connection with Optical Fibers at Node B Side

 If optical fibers are used to connect with NODE B NEs, the route
is:
 APBI → ODF → Transmission equipment → BIIP (NODE B)
 Connection with E1 cables at Node B Side
 If channelized SDTB boards are used to connect with NODE B
NEs, E1 cables should be used to connect RNC and NODE B.
 SDTB → ODF → Transmission equipment → DDF in NODE B
equipment room → BET (E1 lightning protection module of
NODE B)
